ABSTRACT

Looks at the un-making of a cultural tradition with the Malawi Writers Group and former Malawi president Hastings Kamuzu Banda as examples/ Group as a sort of independent and autonomous cultural and socio-political group that can emerge from colonial experience; Banda as the enigmatic cultural embodiment of a stifling subcenter of imperial gestures and structures.
